BABYS FUTURE Something for Mothers to Think About Lives of Suffering and Sorrow Averted And Happiness and Prosperity Assured hy Cuticura Soap, OintmentandPills When All Else Fails, Every child born into the world with an inherited or early developed ten- dency to distressing, disfiguring hu- mours of the skin, scalp and blood, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suffer- ing, but because of the dreadful fear that the disfiguration is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and pros- perity. Hence, it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to ac- quaint themselves with the best, the purest and most effective treatment available, viz., The Cuticura Treatment. Warm baths with Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and scales, gentle applications of Cuticura Ointment, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent, to cool the blood in the severer cases, are all that can be desired for the speedy relief and permanent cure of skin tor- tured infants and children, and the com- fort of worn-out parents. Millions of women use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre- serving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and hands, for aanoy- ing irritations and weaknesses, and for many sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves. the world.

RELIABLE PIANO DEALERS GRANT P. WAGNER, Treas. @ Mer. 20-24 W. FIFTH STREET, ~ $T. PAUL, MINN. Deterioration in Cities. A great many men who have come to cities, after living in the country for years, wonder at their general de- terioration, physically and mentally. They are not conscious of any lack of effort to live straight, clean lives, but the unnatural conditions of cities have been slowly undermining their char- acter, physical stamina and mental fiber, and there is a general letting down of standards. Some incident— perhaps meeting a fresh, unspoiled friend from the old home—makes them realize that something has gone out of their lives, something practically helpful and inspiring. Innocence has been traded for knowing worldliness, frankness for deceptive policy, kindli- ness for cringing subservience, and charity and helpfulness for brutal in- difference.—Success. * NEW CREAMERY SYSTEM. R. E. Cobb, St. Paul, Minn., is buying cream for cash throughout Minnesota and Dakota. Prices on cream are from % to 5 cents higher per pound of butter under this system than can be obtained by the old methods of making butter on the farm. This firm also buys butter. poultry and eggs extensively. Write for prices. Queer Ruling. * According to Magistrate Pool, a woman's carriage is her castle. This new dictum of law in New York was | given to-day when two fashionably dressed women, one of whom had giv- en her address as the Holland hous were before him on the charge of dis- orderly conduct. The policeman who made the arrest stated that they were driving down Fifth avenue, shouting at the top of their voices, and in other ways creating a disturbance. A liv- eried coachman and a footman were on the box of the carriage. The mag- istrate told the policeman that while they were in the carriage the women were virtually in their own house and could do about as they pleased. The prisoners were discharged.—New York Letter. ANIMAL PARASITES. Every Living Creature Has Something That Preys Upon It. All animals, both large and small, suffer as severely as animals in the matter of parasites. The parasite of the ostrich is a formidable-looking ex- ample. The most interesting of the pigeon’s parasites is the one known ‘as the slender pigeon louse, which is sup- posed to do good service to the bird by thinning its plumage as the weather grows hot. Fish also have parasites. The legs of one variety which inhabits the carp and pike are attached to the posterior part of its anatomy, and con- stitute paddles by means of which the organism can change its host and de- part to pay its attentions to another fish. Two dark spots in the fore part of the creature represents the first pair of legs, which have been converted into suckers, by means of which the organism retains hold of its host. There is good reason to believe that this “pike louse” is not a parasitic tor- ment, but rather a desired attendant. In all probability it derives its nour- ishment from the mucous products se- creted by the skin of the fish. And when it is satisfactorily arranged the toilet of one fish it abandons it for an- other which needs its help.—Leslie’s Monthly. THE REAL CRANK Is Plainly Marked. A crank is one who stands in beaten paths when common sense tells him to leave. The real crank is one who persists in using coffee because accustomed to and yet knows it hurts him. It is this one who always pays the penalty, | while the sensible person who gives up Coffee and takes on Postum Food Coffee in its place enjoys all the bene- fits of returning health. A well known manufacturer's agent of New York City visited the grocery department of one of the big New York stores not long ago and there he tasted a sample cup of Postum made the right way. He said afterwards: “Just through the energy of that young woman who was serving Pcstum there I became a convert to the food drink and gave up the drug drink coffee and got well. “I had used coffee to excess and was gradually becoming a complete wreck, getting weaker and more — nervous every day. I paid the penalty for us- ing coffee and when I tasted the 4eli- cious Postum I was glad indeed to make the change. “So I gave up the coffee altogether and have used Postum instead ever since. My family at first called me a crank, but seeing how Postum pene fited me the first month they all got in line and as a result of Postum’s remarkable benefits to me we all drink it now entirely in place of coffee and we are well.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. ters gavo only temporary. Grades of Cattle and Profit. At the University of Illinois are be- ing fed six carloads of cattle for the purpose of ascertaining what grade of cattle will yield the most profit for the operation of feeding, These six carloads consist of sixteen steers each. They were purchased by Professor Mumford, who was careful to select steers for each lot that should be rep- resentative. The six grades were, the fancy selected, choice, good, medium, common, inferior. Every load is fed in paved lots of equal size provided with the same kind and amount of shelter and the same exposure, The rations fed to each are of the same kind and of the same amount to a thousand pounds live weight of cat tle, except in such instances as the appetites of the cattle belonging to a certain grade clearly show that they are being overfed or underfed as com: pared with other grades of cattle used in this test. A committee of three expert buyers of live stock visits the station at in- tervals of one month and fixes the money value gain that each lot has made per 100 pounds during the pre- ceding month. These three men are John T. Alexander, Geo W. Shannon and James Brown, all of Chicago. The experiment began November 29, 1902. The market value per 100 weight at the ‘beginning of the experiment and the increase of valué by May 16, was as follows: Lot Purchase Value. Increase. Fancy .. «$4.75 $1.30 Choice 4.55 1,25 Good ... 4.20 1.20 Medium . 3.85 1.20 Common «+ 3.60 1.00 Inferior 6600.0 oie oo oii 3.35 1,15 Below are the average weights’ of the steers in each lot on November 29 and May 16: Noy. 29. May 16. Fancy . a. 934 1,360 Choice . 1,115 1.544 Good .. 1,010 1,401 Medium . 1,022 1,370 Common 966 1,328 Inferior 966 1,302 A little examination of these figures shows that on the average a steer of the fancy lot cost $38.365 and was worth on May 16, $82.28, a gain in value of $43.915. A steer of the in- ferior lot cost $32.361 and was worth on May 16, $58.65, a gain in value of $26.289. But this is figured on a uni- form market, which is correct so far as this experiment goes. But as a matter of fact the market has de- clined, and the fancy grades have suf- fered more than the inferior grades. It seems altogether likely that, owing to this state of the market, the in- ferior grade will prove the most profitable. But feeding experiments cannot be adjusted to fluctuations of the market, and much light is certain to be shed abroad by this experiment with carload lots. Cattle at Odebolt, lowa. The Iowa Agricultural College is carrying on some elaborate experi- ments in cattle feeding at the Brook- mont farm at Odebolt, Iowa. The farm furnishes the animals feed and labor and builds yards, sheds, and water tanks according to the plans furnished by the experiment station. | The station determines the different lines of feeding to be followed, di- vides the cattle into suitable lots and details a representative to take con- | trol of the work. At the completion of the experiment, the data obtained is taken by the experiment station for publication and the animals are re- turned to the control of the farm which markets them. Five hundred steers and five hundred hogs are now being fattened on the farm in these co-operative experiments. Three tests are being made in fattening steers, as follows: Acclimatization test, light and heavy ration test, supplementary feeds test. In the acclimatization test fifty | head of southern steers are fed in one lot and fifty head of western steers in a second lot. Eacb lot is fed all the corn and wheat straw they will eat. The object of this experiment is to determine from what section of the country Iowa farmers will find it most profitable. to buy steers to be fat- tened. Three lots of fifty steers each are fed in the light and heavy ration test. All lots are fed all the wheat straw they will eat. The maximum daily ration of the first lot will be 16 Ibs. of corn per steer, of the second lot 20 Tbs. of corn per steer, and of tne third lot 24 Ibs. of corn per steer. The ob- ject is to determine whether light, medium or heavy feeding of grain to fattening steers will give the greatest gains for feed consumed and the most profit. In the supplementary feeds test five lots of fifty steers each are fed. All lots are fed all the wheat straw they will eat. For a grain ration lot one is fed corn alone, lot two corn and lin- seed meal, lot three cora and cotton seed meal, lot four corn and Gluten feed, and lot five corn and blood meal the latter containing 87 per cent pro. tein. The object of this test is to deter- mine the effect in fattening steers of supplementing corn with a feed: rich in protein and also to test the in- fluences in gains and quality of flesh of the different protein feeds. At the close of the feeding the 500 head will be shipped to Chicago and a slaughter test made with each lot by some lead- ing packing house. In every lot one hog is kept for each steer to test the value of the droprings. Cream Thickening. From Farmers’ Review: A dairy- man writes that he is selling cream to @ grocer and a restaurant, that the cream tests from 25 to 27 per cent fat and is delivered daily. His customers complain that the cream is too thin, and he wants to know if there is some other way than by ageing the cream to get the desired body. He writes that by giving the cream age it is -not fresh enough to endure the careless- ness of the restaurant help and there are always complaints about the cream being sour when he attempts to hold the cream a day or so in order to thicken it before delivery to his cus- tomers. He asks if I cannot recommend some preservative. or presrvaline that is harmless and will not interfere with the whipping of cream. He says, “I have tried to get the grocer and res- taurant man to use more care with the cream, but it is useless, hence the necessity for some sort of a preserva- tive that will somewhat prolong the keeping qualities of the cream.”. My reply to this letter is that there is a law in this state forbidding the use of any kind of a preservative in either ‘milk or cream. I do not know of anything that has been found, up to the present time, to be absolutely harmless to the consumer. I mean by this, that I do not know of any pre- servative that is offered by the trade that is harmless, There is a sub- stance, however, which has been pre- pared for thickening cream and I think very likely it will answer the purpose of this man. It is what is called “Wisconsin Viscogen” and it can be obtained by writing to Chas. S. Baker & Co. Grand Crossing Sta- tion, Chicago. This is a powder ‘that is sold in pound boxes and sent by mail. The powder is dissolved in| water and the solution added to the cream. Directions for using it are sent with the powder. It is a fact that separator cream usually looks. thinner than gravity cream which contains the same per cent fat. There is something about the mechanical separation which breaks up the cream and makes it look thinner than gravity cream. After such creai. is a day or more old its thickness resembles that of gravity cream, but many dealers can not wait for the cream to age for the same rea- son given by this man.—E. H. Farring- ton, Wisconsin Dairy School. Feeding in Summer Drouth. From the Farmers’ Review: The necessity of maintaining a normal flow of milk during a summer drouth will be conceded by all who feed for profit. In complete soiling the Wis- consin Station shows that one acre of soiling crops equals two and one half acres of good bluegrass pasture for feeding dairy cows. Partial soil- ing is an economy that no dairy farmer should neglect. Supposing the drouth to come about the 25th of June, your | first substitute will be red clover, if| you have it. Don’t use rye; it will taint the milk. If clover is not on hand, sow Canada peas and oats, each one and a half bushels per acre, For a succession 15 or 20 days later, sow again. If the season proves wet, your first sowing of peas will be a failure, as far as the peas are concerned, for | they will lodge and rot off. When cured before ripe cnough to shell, this makes excellent winter feed, being rich in protein. Millet, sown one bushel to the acre about the middle of May, will be ready to succeed the! peas and oats in 60 days. By this, time King Corn has elevated his ban- ner and should be given right of way. A plat of some of the early varieties of sweet corn, followed by another of Stowell’s Evergreen, will carry you through until the field corn is right,; and no waste land, for every one of the above mentioned makes good win-! ter feed when cured in the proper con- dition. The silo is said to be the, panacea for dry spells, but as I cannot speak from experience, “silence is golden.” Hoping that the star of al-/ | falfa will soon rise east of the Mis-| sissippi, meanwhile experimenting a little in that direction, we mainly rely on the method above set forth. Use brains. They are as necessary as feed. Weed out. Don’t feed a cow that only returns seventy-five cents for a dol- lar’s worth of rations. In your selec- tions for mating in your herd, be an artist. Produce your ideal, and future generations will bless you for any prog. | ress made.—Granville Jones, Knox County, Illinois. Praia s Milk Exposed to Foul Odors. Besides bad fermentations, there is| another cause of poorly flavored but- | ter, says Oscar Erf. This comes from cream or milk having been exposed to foul odors, which are absorbed and given to the butter. The theory that milk does not absorb odors when warm and cooling has long been aban-; doned. Experiments show that milk} in that condition is even more suscep- tible to odors than in any other state. In the ripening process this odor can be partly eliminated by aeration or by pasteurization of the cream, but in case of a bad fermentation some an- tagonistic germ must be added in or- der to check the progress of the un- desirable one, This antagonistic fer mentation is commonly known as a starter, and if properly prepared con- tains the right kind of flayor produc- ing bacteria. The “face” of a fowl is the bare skin around the eye. that class of diseases female weakness. Catarrh of the pelvic organs produces such a variety of disagreeable and irritat- ing symptoms that many people—in fact, the majority of people—have no idea that they are caused by catarrh. If all the women who are suffering with any form of female weakness would write to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, and give him a complete description of their symp- toms and the peculiarities of their troubles, he will immediately reply with complete directions for treatment, free of charge. Mrs. Eva Bartho, 133 East 12th street, N.Y. City, N. Y., writes: “T suffered for three years with leucorrhea and ulceration of the womb. The doctor advocated an operation which I dreaded very much, and strongly objected to go under it. Now I am a changed woman. Peruna cured me; it took nine bottles, but I felt so much im- proved I kept taking it, as I dreaded an operation so much. I am today in perfect health and have not felt so well for fifteen years.’? — Mrs. £va’ Bartho. Miss Maud Steinbach, 1399 12th Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: ‘Last winter I felt sick most of the time, was irregular and suffered from nervous exhaustion and severe bearing down pains. Thad so frequently heard of Peruna and what wonderfulcures it performed soI sent fora bottle and in four weeks my health and strength were entirely restored to me."’ —Miss Maud Steinbach. Everywhere the women are using Peruna and praising it. Peruna is not a palliative simply; it cures by removing the cause of female disease. Dr. Hartman has probably cured more women of female ailments than any other living physician. He makes these cures simply by using and recommending Peruna.
